Element Group record MCC664 - Roman and medieval element group, Osborne Street, Colchester
Summary
Roman revetment and medieval features were defined by limited excavations (in three small areas (A,B,C) of a much larger site), in advance of the construction of a multi-storey car park outside, and to the south, of the walled town, at Osborne Street, 1988-89. These were in addition to the remains of a small Roman building (CAT Building 178) and two late medieval to post-medieval buildings (CAT Buildings 179 & 180)
